Among the Hebrew alphabet-position values of the letters in the first three words of Genesis 1:1, the odd values total 42. This total is evenly divisible by 7.
Pattern 22 examines the same consecutive three-word opening used in Pattern 21, but applies a different test. Instead of adding every alphabet-position value, this pattern selects only the letters whose alphabet-position values are odd.
Each Hebrew letter is assigned its position in the 22-letter Hebrew alphabet. Only the odd alphabet-position values in the first three words are included:
The odd numbers of the place values of the letters of the first 3 words are highlighted.
The tables below show the alphabet-position value of every letter. The odd-valued letters used in this pattern are highlighted.
